Elsa later moved to an enclosure which she shared with two,
slightly bigger, male lion cubs. Elsa who was 8 months then and had never
interacted with lions before and wasn’t used to their rough play but joined in
and injured her neck.

Miekie then went for her, and realized she had to go for an
operation, but the money she had wasn;t enough to fix it. So she went for
lion’s cloth, stayed in traffic and begged for money to operate her ‘pet’. After realizing the needed money, Elsa
underwent a two hour operation which appeared to fix the problem but later
started having problems with her balance.

Miekie then took her home washes her, feeds her and cared for her till she totally recovered. ‘At night she still sleeps with me. She cuddles up with me
under the duvet. It’s amazing sleeping with a lion,’ she said narrating she has
nothing to fear. More photos
